Dakshinamurthi Pavilion in Mauritius is Complete
At our Mauritius center, the beautiful huge image of Dakshinamurthi has been given a new roof and tiled area to create a lovely outdoor pavilion.
Parmesh says, “The pavilion tile work is completed and the hand railings already painted. Now the contractor will proceed with the stoned footpath and together with other karma yogis, we will plant some nice border plants around the stoned footpath and ensure that the konrai trees grow around very well to place Dakshinamurthi with the elements of nature.”

Tomatoes are getting bigger!
Growing tomatoes on Kauai is tricky with all the fruit flies. Our Siddhidata Kulam team has tried many different varieties. Recently we started to get a few very good sized fruits coming on our current plants.

Iraivan Update: High Tech Method for Setting Patterns Onto Stone
The last ornamental work for the beams of the Nandi Mandapam (uttataram) can been seen. We have modified the traditional marking style. Earlier the sthapati would draw each anna pakchai (pigeon like decorative bird). It was a very time consuming job and it will not be very accurate. Now my son, Thurai, using his skills from the Art college draws them on the Apple computer using Illustrator and ensures the width and length is uniform. This is very important because you cannot end up with half of a decorative bird at the end of the beam in the corner. He photo copies duplicates of them and pastes onto the stone in place where they are to be carved by hand.
